Klay Thompson is expected to be invited to Team USA's mini-camp along with teammate Harrison Barnes.
Thompson averaged 16.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals while nailing 2.6 treys on better than 40 percent shooting from distance during the regular season, so it's not a surprise that he'll get an invite. May 24 - 8:20 AM

Klay Thompson shot 4-of-12 from the field in a 94-82 loss to the Spurs on Thursday, scoring 10 points with three assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 42 minutes.

After Klay's 34-point explosion in Game 2, he basically disappeared in this series. Klay shot 33.9 percent from the field in those four games and Gregg Popovich clearly had his eye on limiting Golden State's perimeter shooting. While Stephen Curry gets all the press, Thompson wasn't too shabby this year ranking third in 3-pointers during the regular season. He'll be off the board in the first 40 picks in fantasy drafts next season.
May 17 - 1:25 AM

Klay Thompson shot 7-of-20 from the field for 17 points with eight boards, two assists and three 3-pointers during a 102-92 loss to the Spurs on Friday.

The Warriors couldn't get their jumpers to fall, making just 31.6 percent of their 3-point attempts. Thompson and Stephen Curry were the only two players to even make threes while their teammates shot 0-of-5. Mark Jackson went with a little bit of a bigger lineup tonight, which is a little puzzling since small ball worked in their favor in Game 2.
May 11 - 1:19 AM

Klay Thompson hit 13-of-26 shots and 8-of-9 3-pointers for a career-high 34 points and 14 rebounds, along with one assist, three steals and a block as the Warriors beat the Spurs in San Antonio for the first time in 30 games, by a final score of 100-91. This was also the first double-double of his career.

Not only were his points, boards and 3-pointers all career highs, this was the first time in his career that he hit double figures in rebounding. The Warriors needed all of it, as the Spurs just wouldn't go away until late in the game. Stephen Curry added 22 points and four dimes on 7-of-20 shooting, Harrison Barnes had 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting, and Carl Landry chipped in with 10 points and eight boards in just 14 minutes. And those are the only Warriors who hit double digits in scoring tonight. With the series tied 1-1, Game 3 will take place in a festive Oracle Arena at Golden State on Friday night. All four current playoff series are tied at 1-1.
May 9 - 12:19 AM

Klay Thompson fouled out in Monday's 129-127 loss to the Spurs, scoring 19 points with five boards, three assists, two steals, one block and two turnovers in 32 minutes.

The Warriors really struggled once Klay fouled out with 3:57 left in the fourth quarter. In fact, once he fouled out, the Spurs went on a 15-0 run to get them to the overtime period. Klay doesn't get much credit for doing much besides shooting, but he's a great fundamental player and made some nice cuts to the basket in the loss.
May 7 - 1:34 AM

Klay Thompson hit five 3-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Blazers with 24 points, three boards and one steal in 38 minutes.

Stephen Curry is going to overshadow him and justifiably so, but Klay finished the season ranked third in 3-point makes. He was well worth his sixth-round ADP and should be off the board earlier next season.
Apr 18 - 12:59 AM

Klay Thompson shot 10-of-24 from the field for 25 points with seven boards, two assists and two 3-pointers against the Lakers on Friday.

He bounced back nicely from his 2-of-10 on Thursday, but it's not surprising since he shot over 52 percent in each of his three games prior to that dud. Klay is ranked third for 3-pointers this year and he's been worth every penny for fantasy owners.
Apr 13 - 2:22 AM

Klay Thompson shot 2-of-10 from the field with no 3-pointers, finishing with six points, one assist, one steal and one block against the Thunder on Thursday.

After shooting 5-of-17 on March 30 and April 3, Klay was coming in hot over his previous three, making 58.8 percent of his field goal attempts. That's really been the story with Klay all year and most shooting guards are going to come with their peaks and valleys. He's still holding fourth-round value in standard leagues.
Apr 12 - 1:37 AM

Klay Thompson blew up for 30 points, three rebounds, two assists, five steals and six 3-pointers on 10-of-19 shooting as the Warriors beat the Timberwolves Tuesday to clinch a playoff berth for Mark Jackson.

Jackson was in tears after the game and Thompson was phenomenal tonight. He can disappear at times, but generally speaking, had a pretty nice fantasy season and has scored 20, 25 and 30 points in each of his last three games. He should only get better from here on out. Stephen Curry added 24 points, 10 assists and two 3- pointers as the Warriors will go to the playoffs for just the second time in 19 years.
Apr 10 - 1:39 AM

Klay Thompson scored 25 points on 10-of-18 shooting (including three treys) with three assists, four steals and a block in Friday's game against the Suns.

Thompson has been struggling on the whole lately, but maybe this will be the start of a hot streak. After a night like this he should be in most lineups.
Apr 6 - 1:42 AM

Klay Thompson made 4-of-11 FGs for his eight points vs. the Hornets, adding two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes.

Playing time and touches aren't an issue, but Klay is now a combined 6-of-30 from the field in his past three games. Mark Jackson blamed it on Thompson's perfectionism, which becomes a mental roadblock if he misses a few shots -- whatever the cause, fantasy owners may have to consider benching him until he gets on track.
Apr 4 - 1:33 AM

Klay Thompson, coming off a Monday night when he hit six 3-pointers and scored 22 points, hit just 1-of-13 shots (a 3-pointer) for four points and four assists in Wednesday's loss to the Kings.

Thompson has been a bit hit or miss all year, but is generally a guy you'll want in your lineup every night. Unfortunately, on a brutal Wednesday night when disaster struck fantasy owners from A-Z, Thompson can be added to the list of disappointments. Look for him to bounce back on Saturday against the Blazers.
Mar 28 - 2:48 AM

Klay Thompson scored 22 points on 8-of-18 shooting (including six threes) with four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in Monday's win over the Lakers.

Thompson has been struggling so tonight's explosion was appreciated by owners. Assuming his struggles continue, owners not needing threes should weigh their options in weekly lineups, but if he can perform close to his top-75 value on the year then he should be in most lineups.
Mar 26 - 1:26 AM

Klay Thompson hit just 3-of-8 shots and a 3-pointer for nine points, three rebounds, a steal and a block in 34 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.

Thompson has a tendency to disappear at times and his owners have been dealing with it all season. But the good news is that his slumps usually don't last too long, and he won't have to face the Spurs' stifling D in the next on. Expect a bounce-back game on Saturday against the Wizards.
Mar 21 - 2:25 AM

Fresh off a seven-point dud, Klay Thompson finished Sunday's resounding victory with 26 points on 10-of-18 shooting, including 6-of-9 from downtown.

He didn't do much to round out his line for fantasy purposes, adding four rebounds, zero assists, one steal and four turnovers, but nobody will argue with six 3-pointers (one shy of his season high). The Warriors, unfortunately, are the only team in the NBA without any four-game weeks left on the schedule.
